The region may be known for a bustling winery district, but Ashtabula County is producing more than award-winning vino. Craft beer drinkers and connoisseurs of fine spirits have come to delight in the area’s creative cocktails and more.
Red Eagle Distillery
Red Eagle Distillery is an unexpected delight on a winding road lined with wineries and vineyards. Housed in a red barn from the 1800s with original interior, the owners pay homage to age-old stories of locals stilling spirits in barns during prohibition. Bourbon, rye, brandy and vodka are produced on-site and star in cocktails such as “Cherry Buckaroo” and “Peanut Butter Cup.”
Seven Brothers Distilling Co.
Seven Brothers Distilling utilizes an innovative low-temperature distilling process that captures delicate flavors and produces inspiring results using all natural ingredients.
The Winery at Spring Hill
The Winery at Spring Hill produces a variety of hard ciders throughout the year, including ice cider. The “frosted apple” is as unique as the “frosted raspberry” dessert wine sold alongside a half dozen hard cider flavors produced on-site.
Cloven Hoof Brewing Co.
Cloven Hoof Brewing is the area’s microbrewery in the Historic Ashtabula Harbor. Crafting brews ranging from sours to IPAs and lagers, Cloven Hoof regularly collaborates with neighboring businesses to create unique brews only available at those establishments.
Housed in a former photography studio, Dark Room Brewing Company is the newest area brewery located in downtown Geneva! We highly recommend ordering a flight to sample their craft beer options. They craft their beer in-house, ensuring freshness and quality with every sip. But Darkroom Brewing Company doesn't stop at beer; they also offer hand-crafted cocktails and a wide selection of wine including a few local bottles, showcasing the region's best flavors.
Debonné Vineyards & Double Wing Brewing Co.
Debonné Vineyards was the first winery in Ohio to open a microbrewery: Double Wing Brewing Company, serving and distributing award-winning beers.
